Life on the farm continues to provide its daily
challenges. Watch my progress on a construction
project to build a shed and carport:

The dogs are convinced this is a new, split-level dog house, and

We hope you will continue returning to this site
often since several exciting new resources
will become available in the coming year.
An engineering textbook on statistical optimization
in speech recognition is currently under development
with an expected initial release in 2009.
A textbook on signals and systems is also in
the planning stages. We also expect an exciting
new e-commerce venture to materialize. 2009 should
be a very busy and exciting year for us.
